The award, organised by the Dubai Municipality in collaboration with UN-Habitat,
recognises and supports the most innovative global concepts, initiatives, and
practices that enhance resilience, quality of life, and the global living

the exceptional approaches of the UAE as well as the emirate of Dubai in
embracing sustainable development concepts and practices. Its position, global
standing, and crucial role in fostering international cooperation is evidently
reflected in the creation of a common and unified area for tackling the problems
of climate change, food security, and sustainability, as well as providing access

sustainable and comprehensive development that places a major emphasis on
raising the quality of life and well-being of individuals, while fostering social,

creative minds and inspiring individuals to design more innovative and ground-
breaking solutions that contribute to building the cities of the future. Furthermore,

and smart engineering infrastructure, which help provide the best quality of life
and well-being for future generations.”
